Global & Public Health Networks
Alma Mata
Alma Mata is a network for all health professionals who are interested in global health issues. Launched in 2005 by a group of international health graduates and health professionals, there are now over 600 members across the globe. Alma Mata is quite different from Medsin, in that they do not seek to be an 'active' organisation in terms of global health campaigning or projects. Instead they act as a tool to facilitate change in global health by being an accessible source of information on the latest global health issues and a forum for discussion and sharing of research.
